Hey guys. ......anyone have experience cleaning and smoothing outside surface of spindles from a gm front 4x4 axle? I have some roloc style 3" scotch bright pads for a die grinder. I have all 3 colors of pads. Wondered if these would be good/safe or just get some emery cloth? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

I only ever use emory cloth and/or scuff pads by hand, and a file for burs. But, I'd think you'd be fine as long as you're not eating metal
